Will Stay Here Again
The family that owns the hotel is incredibly kind and responsive. The hotel is older but well kept, very clean, quiet, and extremely convenient. We walked almost everywhere and felt safe in the neighborhood.

I was pleasantly surprised. The room was clean, smell fresh and I saw the cleaning crew cleaning the room across from us cleaning the room while moving every piece of furniture. I felt safe in the neighborhood. I even walked from the SAP (which is four blocks away) around midnight back to the hotel. The bathroom was clean and the front desk staff was very nice and kindly allowed me into the room 20 minutes early. I truly enjoyed my one night I spent there.

The struggle is real
A solid basic 2 queen room. Very clean. Arrived at 6 pm and the temp was 100 degrees outside. The second floor room did not have the AC on and it took 3 hours to cool to reasonable temp. The shower control was very difficult to figure out and the office was unavailable by phone or directly at 7 am when trying to shower. Price is great but the struggles to be comfortable make it so it will not be my choice in the future.

Great place for the price.
A very reasonably-priced motel that actually had a tub! Clean. Parking felt safe. The area of town was both good and bad: outdoor restaurants and fun shops but also some homeless wanderers.

There was some initial confusion regarding an early check in that I had called in about, but it was resolved without too much trouble. Rooms were simple, but clean, and overall nothing to really complain about. Definitely good value for the price.

This is a basic motel without extra frills. That said, the towels and sheets were spotless. The room was clean. The staff was friendly and accommodating. I wanted to check in early, they had a room ready, so they had no problem with my request. There are many dining options. There is a pancake house with an excellent breakfast, a bakery with lovely selections and outdoor seating and a 5 Guys across the street as well as Starbucks and a Mexican restaurant. It is walking distance to the train station which was important to me. I had a very comfortable stay.

We walked to the SAP center, (about a 15 min walk). Going back to the Motel from the concert there was a guy walking about 20 feet in front of us yelling, screaming and talking to himself. Felt kinda unsafe. Saw a couple of homeless people too, but they minded their on business for the most part. Not many people from the concert was walking in our direction, people started to split apart form us about halfway through our walk back to the Motel. Property is everything you expect a Motel to be. Our room was clean for the most part, there was some women’s hair on the sheets. Phone didn’t work. We called front desk with our cell phone cause one of our night stands wasn’t working, maintenance came right away. It’s on a busy street so you’ll hear a lot of traffic in the morning which woke me up.
